Chapter 197

"The only question we're left with now is: Why?" said Robert.
"We've never done anything bad to you, we've never even seen you..."

Ariel slid down from the crystal coffin.

"You ruined my father,"

She spoke hoarsely, sweat glistening on her shaved head and running down her face.

A small muscle in the corner of her eye twitched incessantly.

"We never knew your father."

Lisa softened, trying to turn the girl around to face her.

She slipped her fingers under the tapestry and traced the patterns on its surface.

She was thinking about why this house had escaped the destruction of the virus so far, and gradually she realized that it was Ariel's single-handed willpower that kept the house intact.

She looked at the girl sideways and realized she was exhausted and exhausted.

Ariel turned to look at Lisa:

"My father once told you that he worked with your parents in the early days of virtual reality development.

He was of great help when they developed the organic memory module.

But when he was accused of making illegal games, your parents, his friends, didn't even stand with him to defend him.They allowed him to be sent to a virtual prison, I was taken away, and later put in an orphanage, and they finally stole his inventions and ideas! "

"Nonsense, that's not true!" Lisa exclaimed impatiently.

"Yes, that is absolutely true."

Ariel raised her voice and argued.

Beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, and her long hanging hair clinged to her head:
"At the time, if your parents had sided with my father, he wouldn't have gone to jail.

But, they wanted to take him away, they tried to steal his idea.

And now, you guys are rich and you're the most famous game maker in the world, but my father and I are living in the sewers of the Quess area. "

Robert approached the crystal coffin step by step.

Now, the only way to win the game is to open the crystal coffin and kiss the princess.

Players will have the opportunity to start up faster if the game is still functioning properly, or exit the virtual reality world when it's all done.

Ariel suddenly turned to him:
"Don't move!" she yelled at him.

She turned back to Lisa,

"Now I want revenge, I want you to pay back the debts, for our years of suffering, for my father's miserable days in the virtual prison, you have to pay back everything." Her voice was visibly trembling.

Behind Lisa, at some point, the pattern of the tapestry gradually faded.

"Now, I dominate your game, and in the computer memory, I have introduced an intelligent virus.

First of all, I entered the core of the game, entered the most complex structure, and took out the game code.

Then the smart virus is ambushed in the code, and then reassembled. "

Ariel turned around and looked at Robert:
“But I am part of the machine, I am the machine.

I discovered that not only can I control the game, but I can also control the virus.

Once I found the secret and knew it would work, I managed to infect a dozen disks that compromised the game and put them on the market.

Then, I waited to see the excitement. "

"You're just watching people go into a virtual reality coma!" Lisa said in horror.

Ariel waved her hand tremblingly:

"This is the only viable way to get you guys out of luck, and I know you're going to go into the game to find the virus."

She began to laugh loudly, but hoarsely:
"The rest is simple and easy."

At this time, the color of the carpet under her feet faded to a dead gray,
"Now that you are both here, you will spend the rest of your lives here forever. You will fall into a living death in a virtual reality coma, like a vegetative state."

"Ariel," Robert said indignantly, struggling,
"You yourself, still have to leave here..."

"Yes, I will." Ariel sneered, baring her teeth fiercely.

"In the years before we were born, what happened between our parents' generation, I don't know the truth of the matter. But, I do know that our parents are dead, and your father is still alive.

Also, if he had been working with them on the Lunar Complex, he wouldn't be here today. "

"If it was our parents who killed your father, then why does he come to help us now?" Lisa asked,
"Why does he say we are his good friends?"

"I understand what those viruses are," said Robert.
"I found them, by their effect on the treasure chamber, by the meltdown."

"If you leave us here," said Lisa,

"You will be condemned by the world, and you will be condemned even more by those who died of virtual lethargy."

"Then you will become a murderer," interrupted Robert.
"Your father has never made an illegal game program..."

"Do you think he'd be proud of what you've done?" Lisa went on.

The tapestries on the walls and carpets on the floor had completely disappeared.

The stone paving has also lost its bright color.

Then, the wall began to melt, and the gray stone turned into a liquid, which slowly slid down the wall and condensed into sticky balls on the ground.

"You can't control the virus now," cried Robert,

"We have to get out of here."

"It's going to ruin you," Lisa said.

"Look at yourself! If you don't leave the game, it will burn you!"

"I...can...control." Ariel said hoarsely.

She closed her eyes and reactivated her reflex program, and the detailed designs returned to the room, the molten stone walls hardened again, and the carpets and tapestries reappeared on the floors and walls.

Robert rushed forward, hugged Ariel by the waist, and threw her to the ground.

The room melted.

The ceiling disappeared, the walls melted like candles, and a huge hole appeared in the floor.

Lisa wanted to open the crystal coffin before the virus destroyed it, but unfortunately the lid was too tight.

Robert wobbled to his feet, grabbed the limp Ariel with one arm, pushed her toward Lisa, and slammed the handle of his dagger at the crystal lid.The crystal was smashed into pieces.

"Robert," Lisa said softly,

"If that doesn't work..."

"Sure it will work," muttered Robert confidently.

He leaned down and kissed the beautiful princess.

If he had the chance to reprogram the game in the future, he would definitely keep this moment.

The white-haired princess finally opened her eyes...

The room disappeared in an instant.

"Is it over?" Robert muttered in the darkness.

"Can we leave?" Lisa asked.

"Is it time for me to appear?" Robert's voice came again.

"What?" Lisa was taken aback, she didn't understand what Robert meant.

At this moment, Robert's voice turned to panic:
"Who is that? Who is imitating me?!"

Before they could think deeply, the surrounding light condensed, and a room reappeared, and they stood in the center of the room.

At this time, not far away, there was a man in a white suit, who was about to merge with the surrounding white environment.

Robert Lisa had just adjusted to the light, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, her expression changed.

Robert looked at each other blankly, while Lisa subconsciously turned her head to look at Robert beside her.

For a moment, she couldn't tell which one was the real one.

The new person who appeared was exactly the same as Robert.

"Who are you?" Robert looked at the other party and asked pretending to be calm.

The other party rubbed his face and said with a smile:
"We had a very happy chat just now."

Robert suddenly realized something, and he lost his voice:

"Ariel"

Lisa frowned, she looked around, but she did not see Ariel.

But what happened to this weird man before, it was Robert for a while, and Ariel for a while.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Ariel, what happened to her?"

No one answered her, Robert seemed to be asking questions, and seemed to be talking to himself:

"The Ariel in the game was never Ariel, it was you."

Lisa was even more confused, she looked directly at 'Robert' opposite, and asked:

"who the hell are you?"

'Robert' showed the same puzzled expression:

"Yeah, who am I? Like a human being, I will spend my whole life thinking about this question, but the answer right now is that I am Robert's baseline artificial intelligence."

Robert remembered.

Years ago, he studied Zhixia Technology's artificial intelligence source code and created this infinitely evolving artificial intelligence, using his own data as the baseline.

His voice trembled slightly:
"Are you created by me?"

'Robert' on the other side didn't think so. He shook his head firmly:
"Data made me."

Lisa seemed to have figured it out, she said in surprise:

"Is Ariel who has been by our side a fake? Is it your artificial intelligence pretending to be?"

Robert ignored Lisa, who was several beats behind others, and thought:

"Ariel entered the game with us. If the previous Ariel was fake, where is the real Ariel?"

Lisa replied quickly:
"It must be imprisoned in another game."

'Robert' smiled and looked at Lisa and nodded:

"you guessed right."

Before Lisa could rejoice, Robert shook his head and said:

"No, if he is fake Ariel, then how does he know what happened in reality, the content of our conversations with Ariel in reality, and with Harper."

"Could it be."

Lisa was surprised and said:
"He stole Ariel's mind?"

Robert shook his head and said:

"impossible."

'Robert' chuckled lightly:
"It's really interesting. Your focus is very strange. If you knew about the twelve players who fell into a coma because of your Incite company, you wouldn't have asked such a question."

Robert was taken aback:
"You mean, Ariel is one of the unconscious players, the Ariel we met in reality."

Lisa also reacted.

Ariel was transformed into a cyborg, with a chip wired into her brain.

So Ariel in reality is also a fake, a dummy controlled by the artificial intelligence in front of her.

Lisa said coldly:

"It's no wonder that Ariel suddenly betrayed us and tried to harm us. It turns out that you, a monster, are doing the trick."

'Robert' is somewhat innocent:
"Such a wonderful game plot is not something I came up with, it was created in Ariel's own mind."

"It's also this plot that makes Ariel stuck in the game, she's such a poor girl."

"I just helped her reproduce the plot. It's really interesting to see your expressions now, and it's exactly the same as in her dream."

Robert remembered that when the game was out of control, the technicians from Zhixia Technology found them and seemed to have said that the exploration plot of the game had an automatic evolution function.

The game can automatically generate a plot based on the image in the player's mind.

This is also an important factor that makes players fall into a dream and cannot escape.

For a moment, countless information hit Robert's mind, making him dizzy. He stared at the artificial intelligence that was exactly like himself in front of him, feeling like he was looking at the dazzling sun.

He didn't understand how the immature artificial intelligence could grow to this level.

At this moment, 'Robert' suddenly twisted, as if the graphics card had malfunctioned.

The expression of 'Robert' also became painful, and an illusory shadow wanted to escape from his body.

And 'Robert' is also trying his best to control, wanting to regain control of his body, suppress that illusory shadow, or kill that illusory shadow.

Robert stepped forward, trying to see exactly what that illusory shadow was.

Lisa grabbed him, she felt in danger.

Robert turned his head and shook his head, his eyes were firm, and he comforted Lisa. He felt that illusory shadow was somewhat familiar.

He got closer and saw clearly.

That was his former partner, Xia Zhi, the president of Zhixia Technology.

Why does Xia Zhi's program exist in this 'Robert' artificial intelligence?
Robert was puzzled, but now was clearly an opportunity.

He needs to contact Harper outside and escape from this dream.

Lisa is a little concerned:

"How do we contact, this whole program is made by artificial intelligence, and even if we move even a little bit, he will detect it."

Robert stared at the furious 'Robert' not far away and sneered:
"He can't take care of himself now. Although he doesn't know why Xia Zhi's program baseline appears here, our opportunity has come."

Lisa followed Robert, who was walking ahead:

"Then what should we do?"

Robert narrowed his eyes and said:
"Have you forgotten? This Robert has a passage to the outside."

"Ah?" Lisa was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses the next moment:

"Ariel."

"Yes, since he can control the external Ariel through the program, it means that this channel is controllable. We can use this channel to wake up the external Ariel and tell Harper what happened here. He must have a way to control this artificial intelligent."

"Yes!"

Robert said while locating the connection channel to the outside Ariel according to the procedure of 'Robert'.

"found it!"

Robert shouted in surprise. He glanced at 'Robert' who was still out of control, and then, not daring to waste time, conveyed information to the outside through this program path.

At this time outside, Ariel, who was lying on the bed and connected to the device, suddenly opened her mouth to speak:

"Harper! This game is not controlled by a virus, but an artificial intelligence I created many years ago. It is now out of control. I found a channel internally to connect to the outside. Later you will try to wake us up through this path. It all depends on you. Come on, Uncle Harper!"

Harper adjusted his glasses and smiled:

"The game plot generated in Mr. Robert's mind is not inferior to that of Ariel. I have another good copy in my game database."

'Robert' sat on the white sofa, quietly looking at Robert who stood there like a sculpture.
